a little fashion....

Perfect for the occasion.

The Golden Globes.

For Emma.  She loves Amy Pohler.

Blondes do have more fun.

Sure like her dress.

I LOVE her smile.  So pretty.

Classic Julia.  Very nice.

Nothing wrong with this!  

I'm okay with the slip dress.

I LOVE this skirt with all my heart. The top and eyebrows not so much.

But this yellow is scrumptious and perfect.

XXXXXXXX

Oopsie...see thru dress almost made it on the blog.

haha.

Oh my word.  

The loveable Adam Sandler and his wife.

I just peeked at the fashions on google search.

Thank you very much.

Happy New Year dear Quiet Life friends!

We are doing pretty well here in Wisconsin.

We did a kitchen refresh in November.

There are two things left to be done, very little touches, but I wanted to wait until everything was perfect before I share it.  But let me tell you,

I am so delighted.  I sit in the kitchen to watch my kdramas and youtubes so this is my spot.

It is such a beautiful sight to me.  

I'll post it soon. It makes me so happy.

Encourage one another,

Donna

Oh my gosh!  I just remembered. Two years ago today my hair fell out! 

And so it goes.....

er grows......

 

November is here.

 

The Dodgers have won the World Series again.

It was a wild ride.  

Two in a row.  

Matthew, Melinda, Asher, Malachi and Zeek came to visit!  

I was so grateful to spend time in the fresh Wisconsin air with them!!!

The most unusual and prettiest pumpkin I've ever seen.

We went to the famers market in Madison.  It's a trip.

I love when Katie can meet us for our get togethers.

Nancy and Cindy came to town to watch Kate (grandniece) play hockey!

Always the best to see my precious sisters.

Soup season is here.  Cheese Broccoli soup.

I've also made Potato soup.

I have a recipe blog if you want to find my recipes;

Recipes I have known and loved.

It has been a year since Ginny died.  

Katie and I miss her.  

They were best friends.

We are updating the kitchen a bit.

Before

A fancy new stove with numbers we can read and a microwave that works with lights underneath.

Still to come, countertops, farm sink, and new faucet, a cabinet were the oven used to be and simple tile back splash.

The clutter was getting on my nerves so I brought the Boucher classic down to the family room to hold all the cookbooks.

Yamamoto being loved.

Pretty light...

how I love this pretty light

Nov. 15th

Two year anniversary of BC surgery.

My adorable helper, Cindy.

Stay warm. Eat well.  

Say your prayers.

Love you.

Mean it.

Love you. Mean it.

The Emmys were on...

Here are the only two people I recognized.  

Hi! Lorelai and Rory.

(That is an exaggeration.)

Modern and cool.

I personally think this is the correct way of dressing for an award show.

This length.  Why the ball gowns?

Isn't this the most lovely dress?

Absolutely beautiful.

This brown and blue is very pretty.

Nate in a deep brown.

I did not watch the Emmy's.  I did not even know they were on. 

Things have changed around here in the last five years.  I feel like the Emmy's and television/cable in general has gone very dark.  I confess that I consumed A LOT of very dark tv shows.  I still will say Breaking Bad is the best written drama ever.  However, I just don't want to watch that stuff anymore.  

The covid era turned me away for talk shows and news shows.  They were telling me things I didn't believe yet, they were doing a great job of terrifying me.  So, I turned off the talk shows and morning shows and the news.

I watched every Youtube of Kara and Nate. I continue to watch adventurous travelers and homemakers and cookers and conservative commentary on YouTube.  

I watch K-dramas.

There are medical Kdramas I love and legal Kdramas I love.

I adore the romcoms and family dramas.  There are a few historical dramas I love and some sporty ones.

They don't really do sit-coms.  

The legal dramas remind me of Ally McBeal.

The medical dramas remind me of St. Elsewhere.

The Romcoms remind me of You've Got Mail...but they are 16 episodes long.

The historical dramas are epic like Gone with the Wind or something like Dr Zhivago.

I would love to write a blog post on the best Kdramas and may do that one day.  I actually don't feel anyone is interested.  And that's okay.  But I'd like to do it for fun.  

Oh!!!  Patrick says I need to mention my Dodger baseball watching.  Lots and lots of Dodger baseball.

He also says, "Go Brewers." 

(His team is having a great season...so far....)

I still love a pretty dress and I know you all had fun when I posted the red carpets in the past.  

Whatever you are watching....

I hope it touches your heart, makes you laugh and is a delight for your eyes.

Encourage one another,  Mizboo

 

But I think I love fall most of all.

I think September is my favorite month.

When Harry Met Sally lunch spot in Central Park.

I miss Ginny.

Nat King Cole's version of Autumn Leaves is perfect.

Happy September.

I hope you get to wear a sweatshirt or your favorite sweater soon.

Encourage one another,

Donna
